Graphics on 2011 coming off??

[rsjtmann]

Is anyone else having problems with the graphics on there boats peeling off. Noticed it after the first time at the lake and a guy with a 2008 RZ2 pointed it out to me. He said he has had his replaced his very year by Tige. Going to factory tomorrow for service and goignt ot ask about it.

My starting falling first weekend including the chrome tige on each side.they tried to it wasn't under warranty so my dealer said I needed to call them personally so I did and they shipped all new graphics ,stool have unused graphics in my garage just in case .not problems since

That's crazy the dealer thinks it is not under warranty if it was a new boat like mine.

Yep! Me too!

Ya I know mine was only a week old and the dealer said tige said i probably knocked the chime tige off while loading and was probably using harsh cleaners . So icalled them the next morning and explained I had never washed the boat yet and the chrome came off with the sticky pad still on so it was clear that the suface wasn't properly prepped so tige said ok this time but this isn't typically warranted due to blah blah blah so whatever they fixed it and no more probs. That was the only time I ever had doubt with tige but where all good now

Ummm...but yours was a wrap, not the factory graphics. Unless you mean that the factory graphics peeled off underneath the wrap.

Hey Ding. We took off Tim Whites wrap and bought OEM graphics. They were old and the glue was old and the adhesion was poor. Coming off Just at edges.

I'm going to put a paint job on it this winter. Black with silver zebra stripes.

I can't stand vinyl graphics anymore.

I want to go zanny - off the wall without dumb out-of-date abstracts.

[dingleberry]

Ahhh...makes sense now.

They trimmed some of the edges on the graphics yesterday and said to use it the rest of the summer and will look at them at the end of summer. They said they have had problems with these graphics. It seems they need to be a little thicker in order to be more durable to the water coming across it.

I peeled my graphics off. They were cheesy stickers, anyways.

If it makes you feel any better, some of mine have come off and it's not a Tige. The raised chrome outlines over the base decal peeled while surfing, but the ones directly on the fiberglass are holding fine. Maybe it wants to go Naked....

First season with my 2011. The chrome decal on the transom was peeling off, and the dealer fixed it at the 25 hour service - no questions asked.

Some of my graphics are peeling as well. Kind of bummed about that, but since the freeeride graphics are jagged at the edges anyway, it's not as noticeable. If it continues to get worse, I'll have to bring it up to the dealer.

Last season, I touched up a few peeling edges of graphics with a little paint brush and contact cement. Worked like a champ.

Do you have pics of how you did this and what products you used? I have some slight peeling right under the gas cap. Think it was due to too full of tank spewing out some excess gas.
